Stop Congress’ Insider Trading

Pass the Stock ActUS legislators of all political persuasions are getting rich on insider trading. 
60 Minutes brought this to the attention of many in November 2011. 
Published studies found that stock purchases by members of our House of Representatives: “outperform the market by 6 percent.” (9% for democrats, 2% for Republicans), and “positive abnormal returns” are both “economically large” and “statistically significant”.  A recent Wall Street Journal article provides interesting examples, names names, and exposes the business of those engaged in harvesting and selling insider information obtained in congress. 
Proof abounds, yet although several bills to stop this were introduced over the last few years none became law.  Is the time right now?

The Left’s So-Called Empathy

The Left’s So-Called Empathy:

I don't find it wierd for family members to spend time and say goodbye to a dead baby.  I do find it wierd that there's no outrage from the faux-empathetics on the left, outrage at those who so cruelly use this tragedy as food for a a deplorable ad hominem argument.
